That's akin to going out buying a $1000 car with 180k and buying a $500 alarm system for it.
You can always use the locks for the next bike, though.
My point still is, do you want to be stuck without a ride home or not? A $50 bike will get you home, but a missing bike won't. I use the same locks regardless of which bike I'm using.
